The 2025 Dallas ATP left us with some viral images from the match between Reilly Opelka and Cameron Norrie. As the American was preparing to serve, a spectator shouted something that he did not like at all. Opelka responded with some rude words, which the chair umpire penalized with a 'point penalty'. It happened right as Reilly was serving to win the match with his serve, at 30-all. Eventually, the American managed to save the break point and win the match, but it could have turned into a real mess. Later, Opelka criticized the decision of chair umpire, Gregory Allensworth, and asked the ATP for his suspension. Here are the images of the controversy:
